A guide environmentally friendly and
economic use of your appliance.
Maximise The Load Size

Achieve the best use of energy,
water, detergent and time by using the
recommended maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a
full load instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need to pre-wash?

For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption
by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to
normally soiled laundry.
Is a hot wash required?

Pretreat stains with stain remover
or soak dried in stains in water before
washing to reduce the necessity of a hot
wash programme. Save energy by using
a low temperature wash programme.
Before using a drying
programme (WASHER-DRYERS)

SAVE energy and time by selecting
a high spin speed to reduce the water
content in laundry before using a drying
programme.
Following is a quick guide with tips
and recommendations on detergent
use at the various temperatures. In any
case, always read the instructions on the
detergent for correct use and doses.
When washing heavily soiled whites, we
recommend using cotton programs of 60°C
or above and a normal washing powder
(heavy duty) that contains bleaching
agents that at medium/high temperatures
provide excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C
the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and level
of soiling. Normal powders are suitable
for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high
soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour
protecting” powders are suitable for
coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below 40°C
we recommend the use of liquid detergents
or detergents specifi cally labeled as
suitable for low temperature washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use
detergents specifi cally formulated for
these fabrics.
